Holy Ghost Tent Revival
with Now You See Them
at White Horse Black Mountain
8pm
Characterized as "explosively intoxicating," Greensboro, NC's Holy Ghost Tent Revival cannot be pigeonholed into any popular genre. Melding brass
with banjo, guitar, bass, drums, and keys this six-piece ensemble boasts an eclectic mash of instruments and styles -- a musical alchemy all their own.The overall air of their creation breathes a sense of celebration and salvation; of a raucous party where everyone's welcome and where even the most stoic will find their toes tapping and a smile breaking free. It's as if, in the same spirit as the blues greats that traveled the highways of the American psyche before them, theirs is not music to lament life's hardships but rather to celebrate in life itself; with all its hodgepodge of pleasure and pain. It is this
transcendent energy that continuously propels Holy Ghost Tent Revival to play the heart and soul of a North Carolina-born, genre-defying new groove.With a penchant for crafting thoughtfully playful lyrics and graced with exceptional musical skills, there are seemingly no boundaries for this group as they travel the country spreading the magic of their heart-throbbing, foot-stomping, good-time music.
Also performing will be NOW YOU SEE THEM.
Now You See Them is a three piece acoustic folk, indie band all originally from western
Pennsylvania. It wasn’t until the three of them were living in New York City that they met each other. Time passed and fate intervened and they decided to travel the world together.Often described as a breath-of-fresh-air, NYST conveys an upbeat and beautiful sound…live, they supply an endless amount of fun and energy that transfers to everyone around…diving further into their music reveals slow burning lyrics that take shape, evolve, and become more personal with every listen. Sporting unique instrumentation while delivering beautiful harmonies, they’ve quickly turned their fan base from a few errant bar stragglers to perpetually packed houses.
